SPIDERS: the spectroscopic follow-up of X-ray-selected clusters of galaxies in SDSS-IV

SPIDERS (The SPectroscopic IDentification of eROSITA Sources) is a programme dedicated to the homogeneous and complete spectroscopic follow-up of X-ray active galactic nuclei and galaxy clusters over a large area (similar to 7500 deg(2)) of the extragalact ...

The Lyman alpha reference sample VII. Spatially resolved H alpha kinematics

Hakim Atek

We present integral field spectroscopic observations with the Potsdam Multi-Aperture Spectrophotometer of all 14 galaxies in the z similar to 0.1 Lyman Alpha Reference Sample (LARS). We produce 2D line-of-sight velocity maps and velocity dispersion maps fr ...

THE LYMAN ALPHA REFERENCE SAMPLE V. THE IMPACT OF NEUTRAL ISM KINEMATICS AND GEOMETRY ON Ly alpha ESCAPE

Hakim Atek

We present high-resolution far-UV spectroscopy of the 14 galaxies of the Ly alpha Reference Sample; a sample of strongly star-forming galaxies at low redshifts (0.028 < z < 0.18). We compare the derived properties to global properties derived from multi-ba ...

The Lyman Alpha Reference Sample. Ii. Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Results, Integrated Properties, And Trends

Hakim Atek

We report new results regarding the Ly alpha output of galaxies, derived from the Lyman Alpha Reference Sample, and focused on Hubble Space Telescope imaging. For 14 galaxies we present intensity images in Ly alpha, H alpha, and UV, and maps of H alpha/H b ...

Star formation histories, extinction, and dust properties of strongly lensed z similar to 1.5-3 star-forming galaxies from the Herschel Lensing Survey

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Richard

Context. Multi-wavelength, optical to IR/submm observations of strongly lensed galaxies identified by the Herschel Lensing Survey are used to determine the physical properties of high-redshift star-forming galaxies close to or below the detection limits of ...

Physical properties and evolutionary state of the Lyman alpha emitting starburst galaxy IRAS 08339+6517

Hakim Atek

Context. Though Ly alpha emission is one of the most used tracers of massive star formation at high redshift, it is strongly affected by neutral gas radiation transfer effects. A correct understanding of these effects is required to properly quantify the s ...

Influence of physical galaxy properties on Ly alpha escape in star-forming galaxies

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek

Context. Among the different observational techniques used to select high-redshift galaxies, the hydrogen recombination line Lyman-alpha (Ly alpha) is of particular interest because it gives access to the measurement of cosmological quantities such as the ...

Architecture Without Content 9: The Difficult Double

Dries Rodet, Giovanni Alessandro Piovene Porto Godi, Kersten Geers, Andrea Zanderigo, Jelena Pancevac

The culture of architecture is based on misunderstandings and tweaked stories. Bad reading, simplification and superficial interpretation of something far away, both in space and time, has been the engine of quite many of the avant-gardes of the recent pas ...

Spectroscopy of extended Ly alpha envelopes around z=4.5 quasars

Frédéric Courbin, Pierre North, Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

What are the frequency, shape, kinematics, and luminosity of Ly alpha envelopes surrounding radio-quiet quasars at high redshift, and is the luminosity of these envelopes related to that of the quasar or not? As a first step towards answering these questio ...

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses X. Modeling based on high-precision astrometry of a sample of 25 lensed quasars: consequences for ellipticity, shear, and astrometric anomalies

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

Gravitationally lensed quasars can be used as powerful cosmological and astrophysical probes. We can (i) infer the Hubble constant H-0 based on the so-called time-delay technique, (ii) unveil substructures along the line-of-sight toward distant galaxies, a ...
